KENOSHA, Wisc. – Starting on Aug. 23rd, rioting took place in Kenosha for multiple days. People were upset about the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Buildings and businesses were set ablaze and livelihoods were destroyed. Townhall's own Julio Rosas was on the ground covering the chaos.
According to Heather Wessling, the vice president of economic development for the Kenosha Area Business Alliance, 100 businesses have sustained significant damage and roughly 40 businesses are "out of business" for good. Based on the business association's findings, which were announced two weeks ago, around $50 million in damage was done to buildings and businesses.
One month after the rioting took place and the city of Kenosha is still recovering from its aftermath. The areas that were hit the hardest, predominantly in the downtown area, are boarded up. Plywood that covers windows have murals and pro-Black Live Matter sentiments on them.
